I don't get it. A laptop that costs $99 each is selling for £275 for two (or £135.50 each) at Amazon, so you would think the extra cost was for shipping, nope, that will be another £50.
I did my degree in sound engineering. It has the maths and science (applied, electricity and waves), yet it has the fun part of music production (studio, live and film sound).
The university even went out and bought a pub so we could do some live sound. Nothing like learning in class and drinking at the same time.
I didn't pursue the production side, and now I work in analogue and digital hardware design, just because I'm different and wanted to push my skills.
There's a big difference though: iTunes may use WebKit for some of its iTMS rendering, but Songbird uses XUL for its entire interface. Songbird has (when last I checked) zero native controls (barring the menu bar.)
Safari has zero native controls also, except the menu bar.
I'm with BT, with their option 3 "unlimited" tariff.
Does anyone know what the limit is before you come under their fair usage policy?
Because I do not, BT's call centres do not, other forums on the web do not.
I download between 10-15GB per month, some months I get capped to 250kb/s on ports such as http, various ports used for video such as used by Youtube, and more. Some ports such as 8080 or 21 do not get any throttling, and I can download at the 5Mb/s that my IP profile with BT's BRAS is set to.
I'm yet to ever get the BBC's iPlayer to play without pausing every 20 seconds during peak hours.
Just got this reply from Loud Oldbitch, drummer from Matellica...
"I would like to apologies to all the fans who are complaining about our new album. First I take full blame for the final product. After hour of analysis and going over what went wrong with a fine tooth comb. We found the source of the problem burried in the sound of what we thought was the perfect Matellica CD. After the engineers and producers scoped every single track they found and annoying never heard before buzzsaw sound that was burried on each track, if not each track each bus or master track. Somehow after abstracting the sound through all of the compression and limiting they found my voice. I was talking soooo much BS during traking and mixing that somehow it found its way on to the CD. The funny thing to me was that I was never mic(ed) during any of the takes or during mix down. My voice burned right into the hard drive directly and created a unfixable environment and therefor saturating the final out takes to the CD. Some people have always commented on me never shutting the fck up, but I never knew the problem could go this far. Please don't blame any of those professional audio companies the have taken a beating on forums like this one. It is all my fault, and I have considered quitting the band."
Yeah, Compressor is pretty damn good. It doesn't just use all your cores, but it can also distribute the workload to other machines on a network. Whole render farms.
Logic Node is somewhat better, however it only does audio, we have two eight core Mac pro's and three Xserv machines in our studio. The Xserve machines will be binned when the new version of Logic Pro supporting GPU processing the audio is out.
I asked at my Apple Store how much it would cost for them to install a new hard drive on a MacBook Pro. For a start, it needs to be an Apple part, they usually only replace like-for-like, however they can upgrade. The Genius said he would install a none Apple part (as they seem to know me there) and I just pay the standard labour fee, which is £170.
Replacing the hard drive myself voids the warranty, it needs to be done by an Apple service agent.
So, instead I have booked myself in for an service agent exam at my local Apple training centre for later this month, cost of exam £75. Which then means I can change the hard drive myself.
OS X applications are very similar, on RISC OS you start a directory with "!" to make it into an application, on OS X you simply add ".app" to the end to make the directory name be recognised as an application.

Apple's hardware is fairly priced, so even if you want to install Linux, you are no worse off than buying x other brand.
Go match a Dell to a Mac Pro, or a Sony Vaio laptop to a MacBook, you will see they are all competitive.

£325 in total then.
Wow I got the deal of the century. I picked up extended edition plus all three others in a charity shop for £1.50 the lot.
Only problem is they are at first year undergrad level, maybe not PhD.

Got it now.
Click on one of the yellow markers, in the box that opens click the link "Ancient Rome Buildings".
Same here.
I just get lots of yellow markers, I cannot expand "Ancient Rome in 3D".
When will any decent video/GPU support come to Mac OS X?
Apple have only just managed .h264 decoding using the GPU on the latest MacBook and Air series.
My current MacBook Pro with 8600M GT can now do such decoding in Linux, and has been able to with Windows for years.
Lynksys, Belkin, Apple, Netgear, Draytek and D-Link (and more) which account for most of the market run Linux.
Usually Busybox Linux.
Mother Russia now has your bombs.
Almost.

They should have kept the old RISCOS Acorn machines as backup. Unsure if they ever had any downtime on that system.
If it helps, Amazon UK have removed all reviews bar one, they are censoring peoples own opinions. I wonder if EA have pressured Amazon to remove them?
The UK Amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/ ) store has one review, I have just written another.
Of note, does DRM apply to Mac installs?

Well, a Dr. from Wolverhampton commented on it. Damn I'm from Wolverhampton too so what does that make me.

I went to a couple of meets a few years ago with a friend, stopped after getting thrown out of the pub because I was ~16. I'm now 23, so erm.
.. And I live in Wolverhampton.
